20+ years building controls
Hands-on experience across engineering, audit, and consulting—so guidance factors in people, policy, and tooling.
About Us
Look inside Mindset Cyber
Mindset Cyber started with a simple idea: make information security and compliance less complicated and far more useful for busy Australian businesses. After 20+ years across MSPs, enterprise IT, and compliance-heavy industries, we’ve seen how governance, risk, and compliance can either fuel growth or freeze momentum.
We’re here to keep ISO 27001, Essential Eight, SMB1001, ASD ISM, and IRAP work grounded in reality—and always focused on building trust.
Who you’re meeting
Consultants who still build and ship
Mindset Cyber stays intentionally small so you work directly with engineers-turned-consultants. We’ve helped MSPs, in-house delivery teams, and Australian suppliers move from ISO 27001 scoping to independent assurance, uplift Essential Eight maturity, and navigate ASD ISM and IRAP expectations. The person you meet is the same person reviewing policies, guiding evidence, and explaining trade-offs to executives.
Authorised instructors
PECB ISO 27001/42001 trainers and ASD-endorsed IRAP assessors who keep teaching material aligned to real engagements.
Operator empathy
We understand MSP cadences and internal delivery pressures, so compliance work fits around live customer commitments.
Credentials
Our origin
Mindset Cyber began because we were tired of watching SMBs and MSPs drown in complicated frameworks. Compliance shouldn’t be a tax—it should be a growth lever. We channel decades of MSP and enterprise experience into clear playbooks that cut through noise.
Our purpose
We’re here to prove cybersecurity can create trust, reduce risk, and unlock new opportunities. By translating ISO 27001, Essential Eight, SMB1001, ASD ISM, and IRAP into plain language, we help Australian organisations operate with confidence.
“It’s all about the mindset. When you approach cybersecurity as an opportunity instead of a chore, everything changes. You’re not just checking boxes—you’re building a stronger, smarter business ready for whatever comes next.”
Clinton McKillop · Principal Consultant, Mindset Cyber
